PEX Default group Question

Recently I have decided to make a new group on my server for "Guest" player. I wanted to change the current default rank of "Regular" to "Guest". However when I do this, all players who were once "Regular" become "Guest". Is there a way I can change the default rank from Regular to Guest while still keeping all of those Regulars. Any help would be grateful, thanks.

I have left the permission nodes out since that is not what I need help with.

I want to change this
Regular:
prefix: '&0(&6Regular&0)&f '
default: true
options:
rank: '1000'
permissions:


To this
Guest:
prefix: '&0(&7Guest&0)&f '
default: false
permissions:

Thanks Forsaken, that's what I was afraid of. I have a decent sized community so ranking them all manually isn't very practical. But thank you for confirming this can't be done the way I wish. I have decided to make all users Register on my website before they can become normal players, regardless of how long they have been a normal user. So this takes care of the issue I'm just going to have a few angry players. Anyways thanks for the help!

Hey Austin, not sure if you fixed this yet, but the way I would try to fix it is by doing this..
Guest:
prefix: '&0(&7Guest&0)&f'
default: true
permissions:
Regular:
prefix: '&0(&6Regular&0)&f'
inheritance:
- Guest
default: false
permissions:

Those would be the groups for your permissions. Of course it doesn't have the permission nodes in them, but what it's saying is when a person joins they will start off as a Guest. Until someone manually promotes them or a 3rd party plugin promotes them then they will remain a Guest.

Next, if someone is in the regular rank they are going to inherit every thing from the Guest group and have there own permissions.

You can't keep the regulars now regulars unless you do it manually or like I said by a 3rd party plugin. If you use the command for PEX /pex user {name} group set {group} then they will remain in that group even if the default is changed. You will also see a "user:" section be created in your permissions folder and they will be listed there with their group they're in.

I assume you are going to promote people to regular once they sign up on something or register somewhere or even play your server for a good amount of time? If your going to use a tutorial island or maze and want them to be promoted at the end a sign or button promotion is good. Check out this plugin on Bukkit.org http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/signrank/

Sorry if this was too much and didn't help!

Ok,thats a simple Problem.
You have to add the little line: Inheritance: <Group1>
Than the Group2 will have all permissions of the Group1.

Guest:
prefix: '&0(&7Guest&0)&f '
default: false
Inheritance: Regular
permissions:
